2002 Suzuki GSXR 750

 

beauty. Please be more careful than I would

 

I sure will. I had a hard enough time getting in my garage. Trying to turn it around to go out of my driveway was another....well, I had another thing comin.

I almost tipped it over....do you know how much a Gixxer 750 weighs?

Here's what it says on the "weight sticker"

GVWR 840lbs/380kg
GAWR FRONT 310lbs/140kg
GAWR REAR 530lbs/240kg

So you're telling me the bike weighs 840lbs?!?!?!? No way. My friend's ZX-6R is like 480something pounds.

840 lbs is the max weight for the tires i think.
GSXR 750 weighs in at around 360lbs, still kinda heavy if ya gotta roll it up a hill.
For comparison my 91 CBR 600 F2 weighs in at a hefty 450lbs... yikes!
Nice selection, i bought mine to learn on, so in the spring i can buy a GSXR 1000 or a Busa.
Like was said, be safe, alot of nuts on the roads these days.
LATER

 

nice! congrats man! take it easy with that baby, cause she'll bite back!

 

Actually the gross weight both total and by axle is what the suspension components can hold while still functioning. The tires can hold a good amount of weight over the rating but the suspension's performance will suffer then fail. I'm not so sure about bikes though, they're not really designed to function as cargo/fat girl haulers...

 

I am absolutely positive your bike does not weigh more than 400lbs.

 

ZUKs are a little "boatish" at low speed. My XX is the worst. If the bike is top heavy, make sure you get your feet off the pegs at any speed lower than 3mph, or you will get into trouble.

 

Nice nice... I'm diggin' on the decals.

 

Now I'm worried that I can't get it insured. A couple of people are telling me that as a new rider, companies will reject me for a 750. Is this true?

That sucks.

 

Specs on your bike it's lighter than mine

Dry Weight: 166kg (365 lbs.)
167kg (368 lbs.) CA. Model

 

That's what I was planning to do. Just liability. Is there a chance that companies won't even put me on their liability only plan?

Or is it only a "maybe" if I want full coverage?

 

liability should be pretty easy. I guess their train of thought is "how much damage could you do to someone else in a bike?" I need to find a company w/ liability and theft...

 

You can always get motorcycle insurance from someone else. Their usually isn't that much of a difference between having a single motorcycle policy vs putting it on your current plan.

 

wow nice bike man, my favorite, be careful

 

sick bike

 

hehehe.. I have the same assumption!

is this your learner bike?

 

750 rock!

 

nice bike man. i dont usually reply alot but i had to when i saw that.

 

Thanks again guys. I'm real happy with it. It still has an overheating problem. But I'll fix it as soon as I get off my lazy ***.

Rides real well and has gobs of power. I haven't even gotten it close to 6K rpm yet. The thing goes all the way up to 14K!!

 

Wait til you get it over 8k, i guarantee you'll become addicted. Stay upright

 

luv ur bike man.... wanna trade??? i luv my tl1000r too, but i just can't keep up with those suckers.... good luck and be careful

 

Very nice, I have my heart set on a CBR 600, but it'll have to wait until I finish college.
